"I was so delusional," Handler said Wednesday. "I was like, 'I'm ready for a baby.'"

The New Jersey native's parents, Rita and Seymour, had different plans for their daughter. "You're throwing your entire life away," they told her. "You're supposed to create a life for yourself. We want you to enjoy your life and not be raising a child, and we're certainly not going to raise it for you."

Twenty years later, Handler said she has "no regrets" about her decision. "I wouldn't be a good mother," the bestselling author said. "You should do whatever you want with your body and you shouldn't let anyone tell you what to do."
